I have a ford fiesta MK6 1.4 2003 that has developed a noise when the blower is on.
I'm thinking its leafs or debris inside the fan.
Ive looked in my Haynes manual which seemed pretty straight forward but from a closer look at the pictures it seems like they did it with the entire dash already taken out which isn't ideal.

Then to the forums which say the blower motor is located next to the blower motor resistor under the drivers side foot well but after removing that it seems like its just a control arm for the fan speed or heat or something. Although I could catch a glimpse of the fan from sliding a hatch to the side (which im assuming is to do with the air recirculation) I have no idea how on earth I would get to it. so frustrating.

any help would be much appreciated.
sorry for any grammatical errors im tired.
